Highlights
Pet care experience
Active, Loving Dog Care
I offer a highly attentive, adaptive, and active environment for your dog, backed by over nine years of dedicated, hands-on experience. Raising my own dog, Toby, gave me a deep understanding of complex canine needs. He was reactive, which taught me how to read body language, advocate for a dog's space, and safely manage environments so he could still enjoy a life full of hiking and cross-country adventures. As he aged, I gained extensive experience in senior care, navigating his slowed pace and confidently managing canine epilepsy, including precise medication administration. In addition to caring for my own dog, I have a long history of pet sitting for family and friends. Whether your dog is an active adventurer who wants to hit the trails or a senior who prefers a quiet day on the couch, I tailor my care to their specific pace and personality. What Sets Me Apart: - Proximity to Alki Beach & Trails: We love taking dogs on outings to nearby Alki Beach or local hikes, making us a great fit for high-energy dogs who thrive outdoors. - Deep Respect for Boundaries: Because of my experience with a reactive dog, I never force interactions. If your dog is anxious, selective, or uncomfortable in crowded spaces, I strictly respect their boundaries and keep them in environments where they feel safe.

Ratings and reviews
Our dogs LOVED staying with Rachelle & Jonathan. From the moment we met them, it was clear how much they cared about dogs & were ready to care for our dogs like their own. Thanks so much, Rachelle & Jonathan! We can’t wait for you to sit our pups again. :)
Rachelle and Jon were hands down one of the best Rovers we have worked with. So incredibly locating and sweet to our pup, very communicative and great photos! We could not recommend them enough!!
Rachelle and Jonathan took such great care of Teddy! They were incredibly communicative throughout his stay, sending updates and lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. They even took him to the beach, and it was clear from the pictures that he was having an absolute blast. It was obvious that they genuinely cared about making sure he had a fun and enjoyable time. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable sitters, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!
Rachelle has been wonderful with Baxter and Hugo. She is incredibly loving, responsible, and attentive, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about dogs. She keeps them active with frequent walks and hikes, makes sure their needs are fully taken care of, and is always responsive to any requests or updates. I really appreciate how communicative she is and how consistently she keeps me posted on how they’re doing. Baxter and Hugo are always happy and well cared for with Rachelle, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, active, and caring dog sitter.

Full-Time, Double-Coverage Remote Care: Both my husband and I work from home full-time. Your dog will never be left alone for long stretches, and our schedule allows for flexible potty breaks, frequent walks, and constant companionship.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We are a true dog-loving family with a safe, secure home environment designed to give you complete peace of mind while you are away. We no longer have a dog at home so your best friend will be the sole animal in the home. We live in a townhome with a small, unfenced patio area.
A typical day
Our days are structured around consistency, active companionship, and clear routines. Because my husband and I both work full-time from our home, your dog will enjoy a reliable schedule with plenty of attention and minimal alone time. Morning (Energy & Fresh Air): We start the day early with a long neighborhood walk to stretch our legs and get some fresh air. Back at home, breakfast is served, followed by a quiet resting period while we log into work. Midday (Flexible Breaks): With two remote schedules, we offer continuous companionship. The day is broken up with frequent backyard potty breaks, quick indoor playtime, and belly rubs between meetings. Late Afternoon/Evening (The Big Adventure): Once the workday wraps up, it’s time for the main event. Depending on your dog's energy level, health, and personality, we head out for a dedicated activity. After burning off some energy, we head home for dinner and a relaxing, cozy evening on the couch.
